The women here are amazing with the children. Even though my son is a handful with his emotions they really do settle him down. They keep me updated about my child through out the day which is amazing as i know there's so many children in their care.

Review from Mani S (Father of Child) published on 21 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child has had an incredibly positive experience at this nursery, and as parents, we couldn't be more grateful. The staff have been consistently kind, professional, and attentive-not just to our child, but also to the specific needs and requests of our family. Their support has given us complete
peace of mind and made the entire journey worry free.
From the moment we joined, they've gone above and beyond to provide a nurturing environment. Every interaction reflected their genuine care and unwavering commitment to doing their best. We've felt reassured knowing our child was in capable hands, growing and thriving under their guidance.
The kindness and dedication of the staff will be deeply missed. We'll always remember the thoughtful care they provided, it's made a lasting impression.

Review from P N (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended the nursery for 4 months now and it is great to see how she went from being a timid and shy girl to one who is running eagerly into nursery when the doors open and even asking to go in during weekends. This is all thanks to the lovely staff who are always patient, upbeat and
encouraging with my daughter. The staff also takes time to provide regular updates and makes time for discussions about my daughter's progress and works with me as a parent to identify where more focus on certain development areas is needed. I am glad to have found this nursery for my daughter and would definitely recommend this nursery to others!

I am deaf and a British Sign Language user. The nursery had been great and very supportive. Made me feel more comfortable. Welll impressed how they deal with my son due to his issues. I would recommend anyone to this nursery especially for deaf people as they have many ways to communicate via face-to-face
or messages on app.

It's the first month of my son's attendance and so far it's been a positive experience.
He's had a challenge adjusting to not being at home and the staff have been great with supporting him, especially his key person. The nursery keeps us well informed and we sometimes even get pictures of our son
playing and smiling. We have no concerns so far.

The nursery my daughter attends has provided an exceptional experience for our family with a fantastic curriculum filled with engaging activities. She has flourished both academically and socially. It's heartwarming to see her excited to learn and play each day. Truly a wonderful place for early childhood

I am very pleased with the patience of my daughter's teachers. Because she is more shy, they try to get her out of her state and to express herself even better. She discovered a lot of things since coming to kindergarten.

My child has had a very good time at this nursery, they've helped him to talk, and supported him in every way.
Making my child feel comfortable when coming to nursery and he's settled so well. They have supported my child with his hygiene.
My child continues to grow and learn new things every time
he is here and now I'm forever grateful and very happy to send his little brother here too to help him grow and achieve lots in life.

We absolutely love Osmaston Day Nursery, my two-year-old boy has such great relationships with the staff. The updates on his app show his progression in his life skills and how much fun he's having. He's connected really well with his key worker, and he tells me all about the brilliant day he's had
when he gets home. Really nutritious meals as well and he's eats them all up!

My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was nearly 2 years old, she loves the staff and friends here.
She has learnt a lot since being here and the staff liaise with me on how her day has been whilst at nursery.
My daughter has also been doing the REAL project with the nursery, which
helps with bonding with the teachers in a different environment which I think is a great idea.

I am incredibly happy with my daughter's care at her nursery! From the moment she started, it's clear that she feels supported and valued. The nurturing environment allows her to express herself freely, which has significantly helped with her vocabulary development.
I've noticed how she eagerly shares
new words and ideas at home and I credit the staff for fostering this growth. She has also made wonderful friends and looks forward to attending every day, which speaks volumes about her experience there.
The nursery staff are simply amazing-dedicated, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's well-being. Their commitment to creating a positive and engaging atmosphere shines through in everything they do. I couldn't be more grateful for the care and support my daughter receives. It truly feels like a second home for her!

So far the experience has been good, can't fault it. They have an app that keeps you updated on things that happen while my child is at nursery and they also give you a recap on their day at pick up point.

Osmaston Day Nursery is literally a little patch of heaven. My daughter has thrived so much and has been supported so well by the staff and her peers in the preschool. All staff are friendly and very dedicated to providing the best care and support they can, and there are always lots of fun activities
and imaginary play to help children progress and bloom! I can't fault this nursery at all, always so clean and welcoming.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.972)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.972) out of 10 for Osmaston Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.972 for Osmaston Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (348 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 358 Ratings = 4.972
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Osmaston Day Nursery is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
